    Elon Musk is a genulius just asuch as Trump is.

    Both are incompetent scammer assholes who got incredibly lucky, that’s it.

    Translation: Ladies and Gentlement, cabinet seats are for sale, bid accordingly.

    Wilbur Ross got his for bailing Dementia DonOLD out when he bankrupted a casino during the casino boom.

    If he wants geniuses, maybe he should look at university professors (who likely all hate him)… Maybe he should start by not giving them reasons to hate him (like maybe do something to stop shootings at Schools and universities?)

      I mean unless he’s falsifying his IQ records, he is technically. 30 points higher than genius.

      That said: 1) he’s probably falsifying and 2) he’s a fuckwit genius or no

          I mean okay. That’s like saying temperature is an overrated method measuring the conditions outside.

          Does it capture the true essence of how it will feel outdoor? No, there are too many other factors to consider.

          But it gives the ballpark.

          And someone with 130 IQ is unquestionably smarter by every conventional standard than someone with 100.

          So like him or not (I don’t trust me lol) he is a genius.

            An IQ test doesn’t really measure much other than how good you are at IQ tests.

            160 is a high score, but that’s the same as Sylvester Stallone got. And people don’t go around saying he’s a genius.

            The world is full of “genius” people that made things, but all Musk seems to make is money.

              They do go around saying that though He’s smart as fuck.

              ?

              “An IQ test doesn’t really do much except tell you how good you are at IQ tests - that… Measure… intelligence.” See how that sounds? Lol.

                The easiest way to cheat on an IQ test is to simply practice. As far as I know, nobody has yet managed to design an IQ test where you can’t get better with practice.

    I do not think musk is stupid but he is an idiot. At least behaves like one.

    Whilst I do not think he has a low IQ, he certainly misses crucial points in many areas.

      It’s really easy when you inherit wealth… hard part is inheriting wealth for most people though

        Elon actually says he hasn’t inherited money from parents and had quite terrible relationships with them.

      A scary large number of people still seem to see him as a genius. It sounds dumb to those who pay any real attention, but those that don’t still (in my experience) see him as smart.

        I listened to the Joe Rogan podcasts (I know, I know) and the difference of intelligence between Zuckerberg and Musk is night and day.
